It was in 1884 that Count Leo Tolstoy continued his personal confession in "My Religion" - he found in the principle of non-violent resistance (which he called "non-resistance") the key to understand the Gospels, a new understanding of his life and of modern society in his age. Non-violence became the ethical basis for his doctrine of Truth Force which has later been developed by Mahatma Gandhi in his "Satyagraha" philosophy and Dr. Martin Luther King jr. in his concept of Soul-Force. | It was in 1884 that Count Leo Tolstoy continued his personal confession in "My Religion" - he found in the principle of non-violent resistance (which he called "non-resistance") the key to understand the Gospels, a new understanding of his life and of modern society in his age.
